The Panzer IV saw service in all German combat theatres and was the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout WWII. Originally designed for infantry support, the “F”-version was the last of the “short” versions and 464 units were manufactured. The front bow plate appliqué was replaced by a full 50 mm (1.97 in) thick armored plate, while side armor and turret thickness were raised to 30 mm (1.18 in). Total weight rose to more than 22 tons, which triggered other modifications, like larger track links (from 380 to 400 mm) to reduce ground pressure, and both the idler wheel and front drive sprockets were modified.
This Upgrade version features steel gears and plastic tracks for an economical balance between durability and weight.
